Since the early 2000s, Henry Lowood has led or had a key role in numerous initiatives devoted to the preservation and documentation of virtual worlds, digital games, and interactive simulations, establishing himself as a major scholar in the field of game studies. His voluminous writings have tackled subject matter spanning the history of game design and development, military simulation, table-top games, machinima, e-sports, wargaming, and historical software archives and collection development. Replayed consolidates Lowood's far-flung and significant publications on these subjects into a single volume.
Henry E. Lowood is the Harold C. Hohbach Curator of the History of Science and Technology Collections and the Curator of the Film and Media Collections at Stanford University Libraries. Raiford Guins is a professor and the director of cinema and media studies in the Media School at Indiana University Bloomington.
